Cornerback John Fulton (toe) did not dress out for the game. Wide receiver Kevin Norwood (leg) could have played, Saban said, but was held out for precautionary reasons.

Running back T.J. Yeldon, who ran for 55 yards and a touchdown on seven carries, sprained his foot during the first half, but could have gone back into the game if it were still in balance, Saban said.

Lacy wore a wrap on his left hand that went all the way up to his elbow while he spoke to reporters after the game. He said it was bruised, but “nothing serious.”

“I actually don’t know how it happened,” Lacy said. “You get hit all the time, so it’s hard to keep up with the exact play.”
